Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)

• • After consulting with the sponsor, it was determined that chains was the best design approach. We arrived at this conclusion based on our developed grading system and the sponsor's knowledge.

Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments  (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)

Resources or Information Required but not Available

• • Industry knowledge on structures, adaptions, and code

Schedule

• • Select design to move forward with, using scoring system created during fall quarter and the individual component analysis

Budget (list amount spent and amount remaining)
